Decent Stopover, Some Issues

bland dinner limited assistance

The food in the restaurant really missed the mark. I was not impressed. My dinner was pretty bland. I think the kitchen needs to rethink some dishes. the lack of staff after 10 pm was a bit concerning. I had a late check-in and struggled to get assistance.

the location proved acceptable for what i needed.

My room overlooked the alley, resulting in significant noise issues. the bathroom fixtures seemed old and not cleaned well. I found several hairs in the shower. honestly, i expected more for the price.
